[VoiceOps] Broadsoft MoH

[Mark R Lindsey]

Yes, those are the folks; I've worked with them on tech but not the pricing.

MOHA is "BroadSoft certified" -- which means they have a Partner Config Guide (PCG), and that BroadSoft Inc employees have verified the calls flows.

It seems like all the major vendors I'm familiar with integrate with an external media server for interesting music on hold. Hence the market for MOHA. Some of the big guys sell a pre-integrated package from another firm, though, so you get some of the advantages of having a single vendor to support the whole package.

You can search in BroadSoft xChange for other on-hold device PCGs. For example, I know there's a device made for Pandora streaming music that's compatible.

Basically, the said you could only upload one music file at a time, and it would only play the beginning of that file every time. Plus you can only upload a .wav file, and broadsoft won't convert a .mp3 or other audio file for you.
